Today’s video is about a card with a small gift. It’s a very simple card but I love the small detail of a teabag string coming out of the cup. Check it out!

There is actually a real teabag inside, in a special pocket!

Here is another view, just to see the layers.

You can watch the video here or on my YouTube channel. I upload a new video once a week so make sure to subscribe if you enjoy them. Scroll down for a list of supplies used.

Supplies:

The teapot and the tea cup are from my digital “Tea set”, which is available for free download.

Hi all! Just to let you know that this weekend’s video will be posted on Monday night. It has been recorded but I still have to upload it … creating those digital sets took a lot of my time but since it was a new thing on my blog I though I should give it priority.

Want a sneak peek? well… it’s a very simple card with a small gift… has a special thing on it….plus it’s made with my digital “Tea Set“

I love making my own digital files for my digital cutter. So having in mind how much you like free digital sets and seeing the number of downloads in my other free sets I decided to do that regularly.

So from this week on I am starting “Digital Wednesday“. That means that every Wednesday I’ll post a new free set for your digital cutter. Formats available for download will be SVG, DXF, GSD, PDF. If you need another format please leave a comment and I’ll make sure to include. Suggestions on the subject of each week are more than welcomed. Leave me a comment and tell me what set you would love to see!

Since I am celebrating this decision here are 3 free sets just to get you started! (although it’s not Wednesday … another one will come then)

I hope you’ll enjoy them and stay tuned for this weekend’s card in which I will be using one of these sets.

This weekend card is actually a remake of the card I made early this week.
If you read my previous post I made that card for the Embellish magazine challenge but then realized it should have been a birthday card. So here we go again … another version for the same challenge.

Here is a card I did for the Embellish magazine challenge. The funny part? I used the colors I was supposed to (pink, brown, green and blue) and when I went to submit it I realized it had another rule. It should be a birthday card! LOL!

So here it is… just a card for a challenge that was never submitted.

The letters are chipboard letters covered with patterned paper. Scroll down for list of supplies.

And a close up

What did my DH said when he saw this card? “So you made a card about HELL and you put a flower next to it?” LOL!!!! I love his comments! Always makes me laugh!

Supplies:

Flourish cling backrgound stamp by HeroArts
BasicGrey Lemonade Collection 6×6 pad
BasicGrey Lemonade Collection button

I love polka dots. So when I saw the challenge on Lucy’s blog I knew I had to make a card.
The polka dots are embossed. I used my copics to color the whale and a gem for the eye. The sentiment is embossed on vellum.

What I love on this card?
The fish hook!!! I made it with my jewelry wire and it’s tied with some fishing line. Here is a closeup

Stamp set: Oceans of Joy by Hero Arts

When I saw those distressed flowers on the Hero Arts video by Lisa here I had to make them. So here is this weekend’s card!

and a closer look…

BasicGrey buttons Ambrosia
Making Memories edge distresser (couldn’t find this anywhere but here is another tool that does the same thing)
Tim Holtz non-stick Scissors
Jewelry wire 18 gauge

Embossing Buddy

Tip: Embossing Buddy is that pillow I am using before I stamp with the Versamark ink. If you want really neat embossing you should use it! Perfect embossing every time! You can’t find an embossing buddy?
Here are some alternatives:
- Use a dryer sheet
- Dip a soft rag in a bit of corn starch

Just a fun post this morning…. It’s the carnival season in Greece.

Last night we went to a carnival party with my DH Aris and friends. I thought it would be fun to share these photos with you and not just cards for a chance

So here we are!

I was dressed as a Can-Can dancer and Aris was a Youtube video “Drunk guy at party” LOL!!!!

Hope you’ll enjoy them! We had so much fun!

(weekend card video will be posted later tonight)
